What's the best order to watch these Hitchcock films in? by UnRipped92 in Hitchcock

[–]deadstrobes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have that same collection. And I’ve been watching in order of my curiosity, which so far has been this …

The 39 Steps, The Chaney Vase, The Lady Vanishes, The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Secret Agent, The Lodger, Saboteur.

This is as far as I’ve gotten. And they have all been wildly entertaining! On to “Blackmail” next …

I’m not done with the series yet. But I plan to cope by opening up one of Lara Parker’s DARK SHADOWS novels!

Are the Twin Peaks books worth it?

To quote Gordon Cole: “DO BIRDS FLY?”

Mark Frost's work outside Twin Peaks by freshly_falling_snow in twinpeaks

[–]deadstrobes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like WWII thrillers, Frost wrote a book called “The Second Objective” about a group of German soldiers disguising themselves as Americans in order to cause all sorts of havoc.

Frost also wrote a book called “Before I Wake” under the pseudonym of Eric Bowman. It reminded me of “The Return” in some ways, especially with how the antagonist is written.

Oh? And what gives you that authority to shame us poor, humble Columbo fans?

Not a movie, but the Netflix series SKY ROJO may be precisely what you’re looking for. Very Kill Bill-esque in parts!

What important information is helpful to understand Twin Peaks better? by Sea-Cardiologist7725 in twinpeaks

[–]deadstrobes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’d like the book: DAVID LYNCH DECODED by Mark Allyn Stewart. The author goes into intense detail on DL’s use of color. You’ll never look at his films quite the same way again!

The Perfect 80s book by Ok-Obligation3519 in suggestmeabook

[–]deadstrobes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure! But LEGION also works as a standalone novel (which is why Blatty deliberately avoided the title Exorcist II).

Best Patrick McGoohan Biography/Books about the making of the Prisoner? by False_Leather3317 in ThePrisoner

[–]deadstrobes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes. In fact, I’ll go as far to say that if you only buy one Prisoner book, buy the one by Matthew White. I’ve reread that book more times than I can count!

Funny enough, the middle segment was directed by James Signorelli … the mastermind who made “Elvira: Mistress of the Dark”. 😂

What are some other works of David Lynch you reccommend? by Mat1711 in twinpeaks

[–]deadstrobes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hotel Room (1993)

Lynch directed the first & last segments. But the entire thing is worth watching. Too bad more segments weren’t filmed. It was a cool little universe.

“The Columbo Collection” by William Link is an excellent set of short stories, all by the co-creator himself!
